3:07 China is one of the largest producers of fentanyl worldwide. VICE News follows the path of the dangerous drug as it moves to the U.S. and the effort to keep it from reaching the streets. 9:01 Brexit, and non-Brexit country, are on edge. Even pro-Brexit towns like Grimsby (70% Leave), are now clamouring to be an exception to any trade restrictions that might arise from leaving the Union. VICE News met the city’s crucial fish processing community that’s trying to take matters into its own hands. 14:46 Postville has become synonymous with the militarized approach that the government now takes to immigration enforcement. And the effects of the raid are still being felt. 19:26 The Department of Justice lost a fight this week to stop two undocumented teenage girls in detention facilities from having abortions. 22:22 New Orleans residents have been going to Fred Parker, aka Chocolate Santa for almost 40 years. Now 71, with bad knees and traveling via scooter, he's still making stops at local schools and his studio – where lines go down the block. VICE News visits Fred and his fans right before Christmas hits.
